How to Make Sugar Free Pumpkin Pudding

You can easily make this easy sugar free pumpkin pudding up to 2 days before your dinner. Just keep it well covered and refrigerated.

To Start -Whisk the dry ingredients together in a small mixing bowl or a measuring cup.

In a large saucepan, over medium-high heat, add the coconut milk, coconut cream, Walden Farms syrup, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract together. Whisk together to mix well.

As the mixture heats up, whisk in the dry ingredients. Whisk vigorously to combine.

Bring the mix to a boil, whisking every couple of minutes.

Once the mixture starts to boil, whisk continuously for 2 minutes and then remove it from the heat.

The pudding mixture should be thick at this point. If you used homemade pumpkin puree, you may want to strain the pudding before dividing it between the dessert dishes.

Divide the pudding mixture between 6 dessert bowls (4 ounces)

Cover and chill for at least 2 hours before serving. For best results, chill for more than 2 hours or overnight.

Serve, topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Helpful Tips and FAQs

Substitutions

Pumpkin Puree

If you op[t to make fresh pumpkin puree it is a great alternative to canned. Do not use pumpkin pie filling or any product that has sugar added.

Sweetener

I use Splenda granulated whenever possible as it does not negatively impact my blood sugar. I find that sweeteners that contain sugar alcohols cause my blood sugar to rise. If this is not a concern for you, or you have a preferred sweetener, feel free to make substitutions that suit your preferences and dietary needs. Keep in mind that substituting the sweetener may change the overall nutritional information.

Walden Farms Syrup

Feel free to substitute wth your favourite zero sugar syrup. Keep in mind that nutritional information may change.

Coconut Cream and Milk

Feel free to substitute the coconut milk and cream with almond, soy or regular milk and cream. Just be mindful of alterations to the nutritional information.

Storing and Freezing

Store refrigerated, tightly covered for up to 4 days. Freezing is not recommended, due tp texture and moisture changes.

This sugar-free pumpkin pudding is proof that healthier desserts can be just as delicious and comforting as traditional ones. It’s smooth, lightly spiced, and bursting with pumpkin flavour. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the sugar crash.

Enjoy it chilled on a cozy autumn evening, or serve it up at your next holiday dinner, no one will even guess it’s sugar-free!
